This basic question was answered doesn't but the answer doesn't work for me.

I have a Magnavox ZV427MG9A, that doesn't come with a tuner. It has no coaxial cable input, it has other inputs outputs (video, audio and a bunch of other inputs. I have a VCR that has a tuner.
Can I run the cable into the VCR, out that to the non tuner dvd/vcr player and have it record etc normally and be able to watch one channel and record another??

My TV is an older model and does not have hdmi ports. The dvd-vcr plays on the TV when the TV is in Game mode, but when I record anything, it's blank.

no you cant since to record one show and watch another you would have to have a dual tuner vcr ie means you have to split your cable via cable splitter junction box and have two cable inputs ran into the first vcr then run one wire to the other dvd/vcr and have your composite cables ran to the tv but as of now you dont what ever channel your first vcr is on in tv mode(able to turn the channels with the vcr remote) is the only channel you can watch and record.now you could record that show 2x at the same time or you could buy a digital tuner and connect a cable spilitter to it and run one to the tunered vcr and run the other to your digital converter box then run the digital box to your tv then you could do what you are wanting to do.
